Promise and Law

The Girl Scout Promise and Law aren't just words Girl Scouts say—they're words we live by.

Girl Scouts of all ages uphold the Promise and Law in everything they do. Often recited at the start of a troop meeting or gathering, the Girl Scout Promise and Law remind us to do our best to be kind to others, respect ourselves, be honest, help people at all times, and to make the world a better place.

The Girl Scout Family Promise is a commitment families can make to support the local Girl Scout community as they grow, bond, and learn together.


Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

*Members may substitute for the word God
in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.

Girl Scout Family Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To support my Girl Scout and her troop,
To help girls lead at all times,
And to always keep it fun!

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong,
and responsible for what I say and do,
and to respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place,
and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Become a Girl Scout

Making friends, discovering your strengths, exploring new possibilities—it’s all waiting for you!
